Susan's Inside Writing: The 100 Words Prompt

Every time I try to write something for this week's prompt, what I wind up with is too long. This is leading to the pleasant swelling of scenes I intend to post on this blog, treasures saved up for a day when inspiration runs low. But it's also leading to the unpleasant problem of not having anything worthwhile this week. Since I took last week off, I really want to be able to play along this week, especially since I'll be out of town for the next two weeks, which will make playing hard, as I'll have no Net access…

Wah, wah, wah. LOL I didn't think I could do the 6 word memoir either, but I did. 100 words is rough though. And I was having difficulty staying under 5K yesterday. *sigh*

Yup, 100 words sounds like a tough length! Enough to paint a word-picture, set up an interesting dynamics between characters, but no wiggle room at all!

Bloggers taking time off and enjoying the summer is only a good thing. Enjoy, Susan!

I'm not up to writing much at the moment because my brain's tired. I'm reading instead and calling it research!

i came by for two reasons. to look for your poetry train contribution and to let you know I'm hosting my first book giveaway and i know you are into those.

i thot i remembered something about you setting up a collection of book giveaway announcements too and i glanced at your sidebar but my eyes are just done for the time being. i'll come back later to figure it out.

i keep hearing about the 100 word challenge and keep meaning to check it out. it sounds interesting
